Carspiracy - You’ll Never See The World The Same Way Again

What are your thoughts on 'Motonormativity'? 🚘

If any video was bound to make me angry....The unjustified anger towards cyclists in the UK is insane. Imagine thinking someone on a bike is more dangerous than a car.

"Cars kill pedestrians a lot" "Well yeah, but lets be honest, its cyclists fault that they do" Mind blown.

38 seconds in and I already lost it!!! Did this lady just say that people are being pushed into the car lane because they are trying to get out of the way of cyclist?!?! ‼️😡

As someone who, just the other day, was on the receiving end of a motorist winding their window down and yelling at me to 'get off the road!' purely for nothing more than I was just there and he had to wait awhile to overtake. Those first few people have me absolutely raging. The stupidity and sheer ignorance is ASTOUNDING.

Look at Cars like an addiction, then it gives you a clear answer: it's always more more more, we sacrifice everything for it and if you want to reduce it, people go insane. You can't have a rationale argument with an addict, that's why it's so hard to change the car centric system.

Those interviews at the start are mind boggling

Most important video by GCN in a while, maybe ever. Hope it spreads far and wide.

People will go to spectacular lengths to defend things that are convenient to them

I like how it is in Japan where the car is almost always at fault when something happens. It might not seem fair at first but if you're driving a ton and a half around everywhere, you really should be extremely careful of your surroundings at all times.

How on earth is a bike more dangerous than a car?! I got hit by a bike before. Full-size bike with a teenager about 15-years-old ran straight into me at a fast pace. I just put my hands out and the bike stopped and the person flew over the handle bars. I am a stronger man, but if I did that to a car I'd be dead.

This is the best most informative vud you have produced in a long time, thanks Simon! Like most I drive, cycle and walk, my main issue for not using my bike on more journeys is fear of theft of my bike, I won't take it into town. We need more secure bike storage in town centres. Government could also incentivise the public to not use there cars and use either public transport or foot and cycle.

People can’t see that bicycles have to work in a world made for cars. That’s part of the problem. Streets are made for cars, this HAS to change.

One of, if not THE best GCN Video! 👏

Let's just remember 2/3 of the UK are either overweight or obese, we need more people on bikes.

I went to centre Parcs for the first time this summer and it was amazing to see how they actively force you to move your car off the main site to make it a more pleasant place to walk and cycle and everybody just totally accepts it. If we said that had to happen in our towns and cities, people would be in uproar.

People like the lady at the start 0:35 are a great example of public health improvements we have seen from removing lead in pipes in the 1970s.

Cars are responsible for urban sprawl, a terrible scheme where we grow our cities outward and then spend an exponential amount of money on roads and other infrastructure to make it all possible, while neglecting to maintain the existing infrastructure we already have because we just can't afford to... My frustration with cars is immense, and this idea that drivers have where cars own the road is narcissistic. Those roads existed long before cars were invented, and it wasn't until bicycles came along that the roads were improved and the technology came about to even make cars a possibility.

Looking for a solution? "It is easier to fool people than convince them they have been fooled." Mark Twain

I got hit by a car last week... Driver was oblivious that there was a cyclist on the road in front of them until they were smashing into my back wheel and i was sailing through the air over the bars 😅
